And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 221:

It was the same grade 3 Winged Golden Black Bug that had nodded at Gu Xi earlier. The swarm of insects behind them immediately closed up and turned into a dark cloud. Perhaps Gu Xi was the only one who had seen the entire performance.

Gu Xi also waved at them. The swarm of insects seemed to have received some orders and turned around to leave. Only the Winged Golden Black Bug remained where it was. Finally, it reluctantly left and followed behind the swarm of insects.

Everyone’s back was already drenched in cold sweat. They looked at the black cloud in disbelief.

“Are they gone?”

The buzzing sound of flapping wings gradually faded into the distance and completely disappeared into the horizon. Only then did everyone’s heart finally settle down.

Such a scene had probably never appeared in their dreams before. No one had had the time to digest this huge piece of information.

There were no casualties, and everyone was unharmed. This was almost impossible, but they had managed to do it. Other than some of the disciples who had run out of spiritual power in order to maintain the mountain formation, and their faces were a little pale.

If they had known earlier that this would happen, they would have saved some of their strength. They might as well have just opened the door.

The air was extremely quiet. Everyone’s gaze fell on Gu Xi. At this moment, it could be said that everyone was paying attention.

No one knew how much time had passed before the atmosphere was broken.

…

“Master, that’s great! All of you are fine.”

The people from Moyu Tower were stunned and came back to their senses.

It was Li Junyan and the others. When they were halfway there, they realized that the swarm of insects had receded. The large black cloud that was pressing on the top of Moyu Tower had also disappeared. Only then did they return.

They had thought that they would see a scene of heavy casualties. Even the disciples were mentally prepared and had heavy expressions on their faces. Who would have thought that they would see everyone in a daze?

The scene was somewhat strange and inexplicably comical.

Li Junyan had never seen that shocking scene and scene. Naturally, he did not understand why everyone’s emotions were complicated at this moment. He also did not know why their gazes toward Gu Xi would be so strange.

On the other hand, when Zhou Haozhe saw Gu Xi, he was like an angry chicken. He did not pay attention to the expressions of the people around him. It was a little different from the position Gu Xi was standing in. “How dare you take advantage of the chaos to escape!”

He thought that under the attack of the Insect Tide, Gu Xi would take advantage of the fact that no one was watching and try to sneak away.

As soon as he said this, the people around Fang Qingshan looked at Zhou Haozhe as if they were looking at a fool. Someone reminded him in a low voice, “Senior Brother Zhou, be careful. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Zhou Haozhe revealed an incredulous expression when he heard this. He immediately berated the disciple, “Junior Brother, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by don’t talk nonsense?”

Even Fang Qingshan revealed an unhappy expression, “Don’t be rude. Is this how I taught you to behave?”

Zhou Haozhe did not dare to say anything more after hearing that. Gu Xi could be considered their savior. Although he did not know what methods he used to appease these Winged Golden Black Bugs, if it were not for him, the rest of the people present would have suffered.

Noticing that everyone was acting strangely, Li Junyan could not help but ask, “Master, what happened just now? Why did the Insect Tide suddenly leave?”

“He saved us.”

Following the direction that everyone was pointing at, it was surprisingly Gu Xi. Li Junyan revealed an expression of disbelief, thinking that they were joking.

Even Zhou Haozhe almost thought that they had gone crazy. He was afraid that they had suffered too much from seeing the Insect Tide.

“If it wasn’t for him just now, I’m afraid that we would have been swallowed by the Insect Tide.”

“Eldest Brother, you didn’t see it. The scene just now was very spectacular. Those Winged Golden Black Bugs seemed to listen to him.”

“Exactly. I’ve never seen such a big scene in my life, and –”

Seeing that the disciples were getting more and more excited as they talked, Fang Qingshan gave a look, and the others immediately became silent, which made Li Junyan and the others even more curious.

“Alright, no one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened earlier. Also, those disciples who have lost too much spiritual power, go down and rest well. The rest of you, come with me.”

Soon, everyone, including Gu Xi, came to the main hall.

It was a little quiet, and no one spoke. Fang Qingshan looked at Gu Xi carefully, and he was no longer as vigilant as before. Instead, he was a little more grateful.

“You are the great benefactor of our Moyu Tower. I thank you.” As he spoke, Fang Qingshan bowed deeply to Gu Xi.

One had to know that Gu Xi could be considered their benefactor.

“Speaking of which, I’m a little ashamed. I still have to thank you for helping me despite the past enmity.”

Fang Qingshan had wanted to punish Gu Xi and even put him to death. In the end, Gu Xi risked his life to stand up for him.

Gu Xi said calmly, “There’s no need to thank me. I’m only doing this to help Miss Fang.”

Fang Qinyu, who was suddenly called out, suddenly thought of something. Her face suddenly turned red, as if it had been dyed with fine rouge. She was extremely beautiful. She said in a low voice, “Thank… Thank you.”

An indescribable sweetness spread to the bottom of her heart, as if she had eaten honey. Looking at Fang Qinyu’s bashful expression, Fang Qingshan seemed to have understood something.

“No matter what, this is what I, Fang Qingshan, owe to you. The matter from before can be written off.”

Hearing this, Fang Qinyu was immediately somewhat displeased, “Father! How can we write it off? Senior Brother Gu didn’t do those things at all. I gave it to him willingly! If you want to investigate, you have to investigate properly. Why did those guards suddenly leave?”

Fang Qinyu glanced at Zhou Haozhe beside her. The meaning behind this was self-evident.
